How to buy for EpicReact in "installments" Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

Epic React has been on my radar ever since you started teasing it on Twitter. To me it feels like a "must have" that I "can't have". Obviously, it has a pretty hefty price tag, which I'm sure it more than warrants. But because of that price tag, it becomes unaffordable to me personally, and with my workplace being quite small, they're not always as forthcoming as I'd hope when it comes to paying for something like this either.

I was wondering if you've ever considered adding payment options to your courses to make them more affordable in the short term, allowing people like me to pay over several months, potentially via a service similar to ClearPay or Klarna, or whatever else is out there!

I'm sure there are more intricacies to something like this, but would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

How does Remix manage many CSS files in a page? Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

That’s a follow-up question to Call Kent Podcast 09 “How to style?"

Did you mention on "Call Kent Podcast 09 - How to style?" the remix capability to get the link tags removed from the page when the route is no longer active and with that, the styles could get removed as well, helping to avoid CSS clashes.

How does Remix manage situations where the page that is active has multiple components, and those components are using different CSS files and potentially changing the same selector style (both could be changing the p tag)? Or even if the page itself is using multiple CSS files?

How does remix manage situations where it needs to handle multiple CSS files that need to be used on the page that is active and it still needs to avoid clashes?

Thanks for answering, Kent!
